A game made in two hours!

Well, I just finished up my entry for Klik of the Month Klub #59, a monthly event where participants must make a game in two hours or less. My entry is Simple Space Shooter, a frantic dual stick shooter where the goal is to kill all enemies and get the highest possible score. Check it out now!

I did attempt to record a screencast of the game being made, but my screen recorder spazzed out and ruined the footage. I guess it wasn't designed to run for two hours at a time.

Introducing City Block

Shortly after Invasion Breaker launched, I began work on my next project. This game, titled City Block, is a 2D block building/city management game, where you must build everything your city needs to be prosperous. No release date has been determined, but I'm expecting a development cycle of at least four more months, probably longer. City Block is being developed in Game Maker: HTML5, but I will probably upgrade to Game Maker: Studio when it comes out. City Block will be available on Windows, with other platforms under consideration. Here are some early screenshots:

Invasion Breaker on TI Graphing Calculators!

During the development of Invasion Breaker, one of my friends suggested to me that I release the game on Texas Instruments graphing calculators, which everyone in my school has. I initially ignored this idea, because I wanted to focus on the PC/Mac versions of the game, but, after it launched, I though about this idea a bit more, and decided to try it. I've spend the last two days learning TI-BASIC, and during that time, I have managed to make a functional prototype of Invasion Breaker with it. The variant of TI-BASIC that I'm using runs on TI-83 and TI-84 series calculators. When it's done (probably in a few days), the calculator version of Invasion Breaker will be free to all purchasers of the PC/Mac versions.

Have a look at the prototype:

EDIT (6/24/2012): This project is pretty much cancelled. I lost the motivation to finish it. Maybe it'll see a release someday.
